The makers of Docphin strive
to make evidence-based medical
research more accessible through
mobile technology and keep the
content meaningful for provid-
ers who have limited time and
resources.
Rishi Sharma, M.D., is chief
gastroenterology fellow at the
Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit.
"As a training physi-
cian, my goal is to be
current with the latest
research articles that
a r e r e l e v a n t t o m y
interests and that jour-
nals I trust and respect
publish," says Sharma.
But since most of the
content is fragmented,
it can be hard to keep
up with research.
"I often don't have
time to read articles
when I discover them,"
he says. Sharma tried
manually flagging arti-
cles in emails and lists
to read later. However, this proved
time-consuming. "I marked articles
in various places and then—when
I couldn't relocate them consis-
tently—I had to find the articles
via my hospital's library website,
which could take several minutes."
While looking for other ways
to stay current, he came across
Docphin.
With Docphin on his iPhone,
Sharma can locate saved articles while
moving through the hospital. "I can
bring up the app any time to browse
trending articles and to search for and
access landmark papers. Since I have
affiliated my account with my insti-
tution, I can get to a full-text article
very easily, which saves me a lot of
time," he says.
Sharma has found Docphin espe-
cially useful in staying abreast of
specific diseases and treatments.
"I am able to stay up to date with
Hepatitis C treatments, which have
been changing rapidly over the past
few years," he says. "Being able to
read the articles easily on my phone
during brief periods of down-
time has helped me treat patients
because I am able to offer them
a greater understanding of future
options regarding their treatment."
